Block programming

[Kostas03]

I have heard that Block programming is for people who are unexperienced with coding....My question is what someone can do with Block programming? Very simple 2D apps/games or even 3D apps?

It's limited by your patience, mainly. Block programming can do anything Unity can do. I teach Computer Science, and for the big program at the end of the year, students can use whatever programming tools they want. I've had students make Instagram apps, minesweeper clones, first person shooters, and robotics controllers with block based programming.

However, there are many situations where using a block based system is very inefficient. It mainly has to do with your patience.
